At Hot Springs County Library, our Friends of the Library group plays a vital role in helping us serve our community better. This volunteer-run non-profit organization supports our services and programming through fundraising, advocacy, and public outreach.

What the Friends Do

The group organizes signature fundraising events like book sales and bake sales to raise essential funds for the library. These funds go toward supporting programs, purchasing supplies, and helping to fulfill needs beyond the scope of the regular budget.

On our dedicated Friends page, you’ll find ways to get involved, learn about upcoming events, download application forms, and stay up to date about volunteer opportunities.

Why Friends Matter

Friends of Libraries are an essential part of public library support across the U.S. These groups:

• Provide financial support through membership fees and community events

• Help promote library services in civic and local groups

• Act as ambassadors, advocating for libraries to elected officials and at statewide forums.

Our local Friends group helps keep Hot Springs County Library vibrant and responsive to community needs. Their advocacy and hands-on efforts strengthen our connection to patrons and ensure library services remain accessible and evolving.
